Taking turns to screw up

Three years ago I wrote this post , decrying the election by the Palestinians of Hamas as the governing party. I was sadly accurate about Hamas's endorsement of violence and about Israel's increased willingness to use military interventions...not that it was much forecasting to be done, it was the only possible scenario.

This time around, the clusterfuck comes from the Israeli side...For appetizers, Likud - with its Nutty Benny - are elected to lead the country; for mains - Armageddon Avigdor Lieberman is to be the foreign minister. By all means, let's not have deserts on this one.

Since I began travelling more around the world, I increasingly found the cliché that "every country has the government it deserves" to be quite true, with few notably exceptions of mad dictatorships.

It’s sad to think what these elections say about today’s Israel.
